The Republic of Land of Mari is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.188 billion Land of Marians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Land of Marian economy, worth 339 trillion Old Bays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,262 Old Bays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and nine out of ten citizens of Land of Mari answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime is totally unknown. Land of Mari's national animal is the Crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Land of Mari is ranked 33,057^th in the world and 1,619^th in the South Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 69.36 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
